Former President Donald J. Trump will return to Butler, Pa., on Oct. 5, holding a rally at the same site where he survived an assassination attempt in July, his campaign announced on Wednesday.
Mr. Trump’s return to Butler, where he was grazed by a gunman’s bullet in a shooting that also killed one man and injured two others, will take place exactly one month before Election Day.
Mr. Trump has repeatedly said he would return to Butler. Just weeks after the shooting, he wrote in a post on Truth Social that he planned to return for a “BIG AND BEAUTIFUL RALLY” that would honor Corey Comperatore, a volunteer firefighter and father of two who was fatally shot after throwing himself over his family members to shield them from bullets.
The Secret Service has recently faced significant questions about its operations, including how the shooter was able to climb onto a warehouse and fire eight rounds at Mr. Trump. The assassination attempt was the first shooting of a current or former president since 1981.
And with the Secret Service already under intense scrutiny, Mr. Trump faced another assassination attempt this month — at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Fla., where the Secret Service spotted a rifle barrel pointed toward where Mr. Trump was playing.
